13. "Big Insurance" favorite
and, he's in the top of most all the corporate money lists available at opensecrets.org ..
banking, Wall St., etc. Why is the Royal Bank of Scotland supporting him?

He attended Bilderberger secret meeting (isn't that invitation only?), what, 3 times?

I think he's a snake in the grass, too.

So many "Democrats" high on the corporate and lobbyists list - higher than those from the party of Big Business. Nixon would be smiling ... and, so many Democrats don't seem to mind or care about the corporate control and connections ... the rhetoric and media created images are selling and people are buying, without checking under the hood, kicking the tires, or reading the small print's terms and conditions.
